Job Description
This role owns one of the most business-critical products in our portfolio — one that plays a direct role in our growth, retention, and competitive position. We're hiring a Lead Product Manager to own its strategy and roadmap, working directly with executive leadership, enterprise customers, and cross-functional teams across engineering, design, and revenue.
This is a senior, high-autonomy role reporting to the VP of Product; you will set direction with limited oversight and be accountable for outcomes.
How Success Is Measured
Outcomes for this role include:
- Net Revenue Retention (NRR)
- Monthly Active Users (MAUs)
- Feature adoption and stickiness
- Strengthening our competitive moat and positioning
- Positively influencing net-new logo growth
What You'll Do
Strategy & Roadmap
- Own the strategic roadmap for the product.
- Make the roadmap accountable to the metrics above — track them closely enough to catch early when something isn't working, and reprioritize accordingly.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Technical & Design Leadership
- Hold a strong, well-reasoned point of view on front-end design and UX quality.
- Partner with ML engineering on model behavior and evaluation, and with backend engineering on system and data architecture, at a level of depth that shapes technical decisions.
Executive & Customer Engagement
- Present roadmap and strategy directly to executive and C-suite stakeholders, and defend it under scrutiny.
- Engage directly with enterprise customers and prospects, including in active sales cycles, as a credible product voice.
Enterprise GTM & Revenue Partnership
- Partner with Sales, Product Marketing, and Customer Success on positioning, deal support, and renewals as an ongoing responsibility, not a launch handoff.
- Bring a current point of view on engineering productivity and performance measurement in the agentic-AI era into product strategy and roadmap decisions.
Team Growth
- Mentor product managers working in and around the product, with the opportunity to take on formal people leadership as the team scales.
- Prior experience mentoring or managing product managers directly is a plus, though not required.
Product Craft & Rigor
- Set the standard for product craft — problem framing, PRDs, roadmap collaboration and post-launch measurement.
- Bring strong rigor, discipline, and process to the cross-functional team, not just to your own output.
- Use agentic AI tools as part of your own product management workflow — research synthesis, spec drafting, roadmap analysis — and help the wider team adopt them well.

- Comfort operating in fast-moving, ambiguous, and multi-product environments.
